In the movie, Julie&Julia, Stanley Tucci's charachter tells a bewildered Julia Child that, " home is wherever we are. " I believe this to be true. And right now, home is a swell 1950's two bedroom apartment in Sherman Oaks, California. Complete with 1950's crank windows that never seem to close properly but always seem to upset everyone in the house. Home is also mommie, who's been unemployed and looking for a job counting now....4 months? I think sometimes she'd rather not count the actual month it happened but out loud she always mutters the truth. I'm sure she knows it, but I rather quite enjoy her being home everyday. Right now my job is to be her soldier...I'm certain of it. When ever she makes those huffy human-y sighs and furrows her large human-y forehead, I just know its time for me to scratch at her thigh and blaze "the look." You know the one, big eyes, big ears? Gets her everytime. I think it reminds her that everything will be ok. That nothing is to big for us to handle and that even though she's at the end of something...we're really at the beginning of a new chapter. again.
oh p.s. here at home also resides a manbeast. More on daddy later.
